Herr Most Arrested For
Incendiary Speech.
FEARFUL FIRE AT MEMPHIS
Nash's Report on the Railway
Mail Service-Cigarmakers'
Congress.

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD.
New YORK, November 17.-Herl
Most has been arrested and taken tc
police headquarters. The arrest was
made on account OF his language at
the Anarchist meeting Saturday night.
1t took place in the Office of his news
paper by two officers of Inspector
Byrnes' staff. He was taken directly
to police headquarters and locked up
in one of the cells in the basement.
The arrest was made by direction Of
Inspector Byrnes. A warrant was
issued against him by Justice Cowing
to-day for having made an incendiary
speech calculated to incite riot.
HOW 1T HAPPENED.
Last Wednesday Superintendent
Murray intilnated that they should
take particular pains in watching the
movements of the Anarchists in this
city, especially during the excitement
attending the hanging of the Anar-
chists in Chicago on Friday, and dur
ing the time of the funeral on Sunday.
On Thursday night occurred
PARADE OF THE "REDs,"
And all the reserves we're on duty. Late
that night the Superintendent issued
special orders tn his captains to follow
the movements of all the Anarchists
and report to him any meeting they
were likely to hold. On Saturday
night Johann Most with his compan-
ion, Lena Fisher, attended an Anar-
chist meeting on Seventh street. After
the audience got we'll warmed up
Most, himself, made speech which
was particularly.
BLOOD CURDIING IN CHARACTER.
Unfortunately for Most, Patrolman
Serchs, of the Fourteenth Precinct,
was there in civilians dress taking
notes. These memoranda were brought
out to Superintendent Murray and laid
before him, and on Monday search
was begun for the Anarchist, but he
was not to be found. There WAS ev-
cry reason to believe that he had left
the jurisdiction of the State and was
in hiding somewhere. Then the
shrewdness of Inspector Byrnes came
into play. He knew that if he made
the affair public Most would naturally
learn of it and would stay out of the
city indefinitely, so he kept quiet and
allowed the excitement to die out.
Most thought that the trou-
BILE had gone by, and yesterday
he came back to the city and went
to work with his paper. Byrnes was
informed of this, and early this morn
ing he went before the District At
'orney and presented the evidence he
had obtained against Most for incen-
diarism, and asked the grand jury
TO FIND AN INDICTMENT
Against him. The inspector and
seven witnesses gave evidence, and
the Indictment was found. Mean
while Most had been arrested. Most
insists that he did not use the Ian
guage attributed to him by the police.
This is the second time he has been
arrested for making violent speeches,
and he will probably get the full ex-
tent Of the law, which is one years
imprisonment and fine.

nony with regard to her husband
coming home about midnight on the
night of Benhayon's death.
DR.. Lord testified that he had
known Benhayon a number of years,
and the only popularity he had ever
noticed in him was that he always be-
came very mnch excited whenever

Expert Hyde was called and re-
peated his opinion that the alleged
"confession" and other letters found

DIMMIG's FRIENDS AT WORK.
SACRAMENTO, November II. An
application for writ OF habeas corpus
on behalf OF John A. DINING,
charged with the murder of Henry
Benhayon, was presented to Chief
Justice Searles this afternoon by John
Darcy, one of the Dimmig attorneys.
The writ is asked for on the ground
that Judge Hornblower, who issued
the warrant charging DINING with
murder, had no jurisdiction because
he did not examine any witnesses on
behalf OF the prosecution. The COM
plant was made on informant IN and
belief only, which is insult. Gent.
Assistant District Attorney Kirk, who
is here to attend the Goldenson case,
will oppose the application tomorrow.
